Questions about this exercise “Mindfulness of Sleeping”

I learned that when referring to parts of the body, not to use the pronoun mi because it is understood that it is my body. Also does the verb estar refer to something temporary. If so, why does a sentence say va a ser una experiencia relajante?

faltar mucho/poco tiempo para

Hi all!

I am trying to understand my Spanish textbook better. One of the vocab phrases is "faltar mucho tiempo para", which the book translates to mean "to have much time left" in english. Also they define "faltar poco tiempo" as meaning "to be short of time for". I thought faltar meant "to miss" so I am just confused on both of these translations and what faltar means in this context.

Equivalent to: To be + past participle

As equivalent English examples, may I suggest:

To be opened with care.

To be applied...

rather than "Let it be opened..." etc?

Passive structure with verb ingresar

Tomorrow by this time I will have been admitted to hospital is translated as Mañana a estas horas habré ingresado en el hospital

I've also seen "ayer fue ingresado en el hospital" and "el médico lo ingresó en el hospital" so it seems to behave like a transitive verb.

Why then isn't it " habré sido ingresado" ?

Gracias

El tren va ________ Madrid.

I selected 'por' as a possible correct word thinking it could mean "The train goes through Madrid"

percentages in numbers

I think 55% and 37% should be written in letters for the sake of pronouncing "porcentaje"

The flour tortilla is only about 100 years old?

So, Juan was supplying both sides of the Revolution with his harina tortillas and also took them across the Rio Grande? I always wondered where Taco John's restaurants came from! Or was that Taco Bell's?

why add "me"

why do you add "me" as in me comería, or me compraría. Just for emphasis? Can one do away with the "me"?
